5 reasons why India can be successful in overseas Tests

#3 Experienced spinners

Both Ashwin and Jadeja have a lot of experience between them

Before the Test series against Sri Lanka, Ashwin and Jadeja were in the news for all the wrong reasons. After being ignored continuously in ODI series, plenty of questions were raised on their limited-overs future. However, they teamed up to deliver an emphatic innings victory in Nagpur to set up India's series triumph.

Possessing experience on foreign soil can be crucial. Ashwin has already played nine Tests in Australia, South Africa and England. He has taken 24 wickets in nine Tests where as Jadeja has taken 18 wickets from seven Tests outside the subcontinent.

Apart from bowling, they can also contribute with the bat during key moments. In a likely scenario, only one of Ashwin or Jadeja may feature in the playing XI. Though they have not been that effective outside the subcontinent thus far, they have improved a lot since then and will be itching to perform well away from their comfort zone.
